This is definitely my favourite of the three, mostly because it had an ending I was expecting and, in a way, prayed for, i could actually see a bit of character development there and the action was far more enjoyable, but I still believe something is missing from the narrative that I cannot really pinpoint.

The whole idea of the book was to be realistic fiction of two persons who were both struggling with life's unpleasant stuff (like health issues and social stigma) and somehow, they manage to find each other and get to fall in love. In a beautiful and simple way.
This book talks about things that the nowadays society struggles with - big topics like racism and Islamophobia. Yeah, I know, not the lightest topics on the planet, but they are real. And this story just shows how are they applied.
I am not going to lie, from time to time I got a bit conflicted by Zayneb's explosive manner as she tended somehow to get directly into a - mind you - proverbial fight. But I just kept in mind that with all the hate directed towards her, she just had to really find coping mechanisms that keep her afloat. Adam is, however, such a sweet boy and some parts of his personal story really got to me. The bits of stories where the emotion was more intense were exposed in such a manner that your heart could've literally be made of ice and still, it would've cracked.
Apart from the fact that somewhere in the middle the story was just dragging without a seemingly good reason, I actually enjoyed it. I just wished it was more about the nice feeling of love both Adam and Zayneb felt for each other....more
